How to Recognize my WinCE Car Radio Model/Processor/WinCE Version. - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi.
I'm new on this area of the WinCE head units. I just got one on my car and I want to try to recognize which model it is, board and which WinCE version does it has.
Here I found the online manual.
I will appreciate if someone can help me with some tutorial on what are the most common procedures to try to know more about the radio.
Regards

Hi.
I find a way on tricking the radio to run the RESInfo tool by rennaming it to the GPS/MAPS software.
I wrote about it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...et_more_information_of_the_car_radio_hardware
I'm looking for more information on how to load the Windows CE desktop on my radio model and see if I can change the skins, update WinCE 6, or connect it to the Wifi.
Regards

error getting unlock code

Hi,
I tried the XDA unlock software.
After transfering and runing it on my XDA, I received only this message: "error getting unlock code"
Any advice would be highly appreciated...
cheers
golf
what version of roms are in your xda?
you can find this under: settings - system - device information
Thanks for your quick reply.
My ROM version is 3.12.07 ENG date 08/13/02
xdaunlock will not work with wince-3.12, you need at least wince-3.17
manupulator depends only on the radio rom. it works with 4.0? - 4.20
That was very quick, I am impressed!
My radio version is 4.06, protocol version 325S54
I found the manipulator, but this seems to require a serial cable.
My XDA only has a USB connection. Any advice of what to do?
many thanks
Hello,
I hope you can help me, I know there. I tried to use Manipulator to unlock an xda but after finding the xda on COM1 the status message just remains at 'getting data from phone' and beside SID and GID it says 'ERROR'.
Nothing shows beside the IMEI. My device info is:
ROM: 3.17.03 ENG
Date: 15/5/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32S54
Please help, Thanks
Aide
Aide,
sorry I do not know what to do.
My XDA is still locked and I am kind of lost myself.
If you hear something, please let me know.
all the best

If you use The Manipulator: Did you all tell ActiveSync on the desktop not to use the serial port?
If you use XDAunlock.exe: you know it only works on O2 3.17.03, Qtek 3.16.52 and Special Edition ROMs ?
Thanks for the reply.
I tried the xdaunlock. which does not seem to be working with my 3.12 version.
Regarding the manipulator: I thought that only works for serial cables?
In your message "manipulator" was posted in orange color, but on my PC it doesn't work as a hyperlink?
Is there a newer version available somewhere without the serial cable?
many thanks for your time and effort.
I would really appreciated it, if we could get this up and running again.
cheers
Oh, Like an idiot I went and read all posts AFTER I had posted my 'problem' . Not a problem at all 'cos xdaunlock did it with no time wasted (it's O2 3.17.03.)
Problem solved, Thanks xda-developers you guys really are the GREATEST!!! (now if they could just tell me where to get a replacement touchscreen for the other one that broke...mumbles the ungrateful,greedy wretch :wink: )
Thanks
Aide
PS Golf why don't you list all the steps you've taken so one of the more experienced guys can spot where things went wrong? and detailed error messages.
Aide,
congratulations in getting your XDA up and running with help of the developers.
Following your advise, here is what I have done so far in my attemp to unlock my UK XDA.
My ROM version is 3.12.07 ENG date 08/13/02
My radio version is 4.06, protocol version 325S54
I have downloaded the xdaunlock software and received the "error getting unlock code" message after running the unlock program on my XDA.
I have not downloaded the manipulator because of the warning on the webpage that you need to have a serial cable before downloading.
"Do not download or install The Manipulator unless you have a serial cable already, and need to reset the call counters or change the IMEI on phones with Radio software prior to 4.20"
I do not have a serial cable.
very much looking forward to any advise to help me out of this.
all the best

It says that XDAunlock only works on ROM 3.16.52 or later, bascially all ROMs that have the Wireless Modem functionality. Backup your data and install Jeff's exe holding the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2, and you'll be happy.
Thanks for your advise.
If you don't mind before trying this, let me please verify some issues.
I would like to use my Orange Sim card, but Orange is not on the UK provider list on the webpage. Is that a problem?
Since 1.2 version canot be downloaded simply, I need to do this Mkron installation, which requires unix? How complicated is that for somebody who has not much IT skills at all? This part of the website sounds rather complicated to me?
There is no download link here. As mentioned at the beginning of this page, our Special Edition ROM is based on the 3.17.03 O2 ROM, and thus contains all sorts of software that is copyrighted and for which we probably have no permission to distribute. So what we're distributing instead is a kit called 'mkrom', preloaded with all the files needed to make your own Special Edition ROM image, provided you add an O2 ROM image for the kit to modify. To run the kit you need access to a unix machine with some software installed. Take a look at the 'mkrom' page for details.
If you're no computer wiz, and still want the Special Edition ROM, you'll have to wait for someone else to run 'mkrom', and share the output with you. 'mkrom' outputs a binary image file (with '.nb1' extension) for use with our XDA ROM Image Tool and an SD-card written from the PC, as well as as an nbf-file with the correct checksum, for inclusion into a 'Programme A' package that people can install using their cradle. If you're lucky, whoever creates the installer you use to flash the Special Edition ROM into your device will make the flash utility self-extracting and use our new 'adaptROM' tool to make sure you never have to mess with model numbers, languages and checksums
many thanks

KR-6206 Kaier

Hello Guys
I need some help in flashing my device. I was going to try and flash my head unit today and tried a few things and now i cant even run the restore factory defaults. Well it runs and runs and runs and tells me not to restart the head unit but nothing happens so i switch off and on and its still good. In short i broke it.
The unit switches on and loads up fine but the wifi is all messed up i have to specify ip address to get anything to work.
My aim here is to flash to kitkat if not possible then back to factory. I managed to find this web site with firmware for my radio apparently. I cant find any instructions on how to do the update or do any kind of serial number matching or any kind of identification to avoid flashing wrong. I cannot post the link If you google kr-6206 Firmware its the first link and its by a website firmware-portal. I have registered to there site but cant find any kind of help or contact us. Even tho they say to contact them.
Radio details :
Android 4.2.2
MCU: 4.3.8-11-10-450101 WV(4.3.8, RDS, AD, BC6, Rohm37XXX, TEF662X)
System Version: 2.7.39
1.5GHZ Dual Core Cortex: A9
Ram 1GB DD3

Car DVD

TFT LCD 800*480 Screen
For SUBARU FORESTER Impreza 08-10
Bought on ebay in 2014
I realize this question must have been asked but not for this radio. If there is a good guide someone can recommend and also if someone can tell me if i can use the files i downloaded to try restore my radio to a proper working radio. Its really frustrating. I dont wanna brick the radio
Thank you for any help in advance
it think it's a unit based on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=707069
see this thread on XDA
Think u can update to 5.3.17 MCU and Try the Navi IQ firmware it's pretty good

Thank you so much the king root managed to root my device. The only thing is none of those radios look just like mine. One very similar but not 100%.
The supplier from eBay sent me the software files but it dose not update android. Still stuck on 4.2.2. Im afraid to update. I need to figure out how to make a backup first before trying.
All and all the radio works now but no audio from the on board amp im guessing the power IC is fried.
Will keep you guys posted and thank you for the help

So the Agent sent me this. V2.9.5_20150513_800X480_SYSTEM_KED.rar. Its only 174.91M and contains 2 files. It did not update Android to higher version just the system version should i use the Version (2.9.1 800x480 - Most likely default software taken from AN-21U
@mxv68 - V2.9.1_20141217_800X480_SYSTEM_KED.rar) From the XDA forum will that work. Sorry to be so noob at this. First android device .
They have really not made this uncomplicated.
Try to use the navi IQ software from the 4pda forum, it's a hybrid rom.. it updates just Android so if it doesn't boot I can always go back if u have the old files.. with Phoenix suit u can make a backup.. but I didn't try it.

A-Sure S3 - 5.1.1 Intel head unit KYD - How to root and rom update.

After a lot of time trying to find out more about this unit, I thought I would create a thread and start it off with what I now know.
The unit is similar to the Joying unit, it uses the Intel processor and is non mcd. The manufacture is Kaiyide (KYD) the rom is again similar to the joying but not quite the same.
Passwords are 3368 for the main car settings and 0808 to change launcher. There is a password for something to do with the door locking, which I dont know.
Root is achieved the same way as the joying using the method posted by MMTK84 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69648860&postcount=84&nocache=1&z=8361786322568856
The latest rom is available using the link below, extract the folders and load content into root on on a usb stick put it into the unit and it will auto detect and update.
https://mail.qq.com/cgi-bin/ftnExs_...18440714350f&t=exs_ftn_download&code=0c66ff52
When i installed the rom, I used the apps and boot animation from the latest Joying rom download both have installed correctly. Im unable to load the mcu update as it searches the manufactures info and as its not JY it wont update. If anyone can help with this I would like to try it as the MCU software is a lot older than the Joying. Can this be achieved by editing the build.prop file?
Please add to this thread and edit as necessary. I hope this helps A-Sure unit owners as the information is very difficult to find.
Hi,
Thanks for this post.

Hi Rick,
I'm interested in making this thread too, there seems to be no resources for this unit whatsoever.
Have just purchased an A-sure unit, ball ache trying to figure it all out without a manual. Although, A-Sure have now sent me one.
Have updated the ROM with your help, looks quite a bit different now.
I'm not a developer, more of a meddler, am too old now to take it in like I once did.
Cheers for now,
Alan.
Hi Alan, thank you for adding to the thread! You are quite right there is almost no information available for the A-Sure unit. Fortunately the information can be put together from various threads here on the XDA forum. But having it in one place makes sense.
I know exactly where you are coming from and I am the same more meddler than developer and also a lot older than when i used to install car audio and security for a profession. Im pleased that you found my info useful.
I would very much like to modify the DAB app so that it shows the station logos - or use another one if anyone knows an app that will work.
I have updated the iGO app on my unit - ugh took me a while to get it working. for that you need root access.
Most of the issues are now cured on my unit, I just have a problem with loosing gps when going between apps ie from iGo to poweramp and back (music player - way way better then stock app)
Best regards
Rick.
extract the package then open the first folder / second until you see a group of files, put those onto the fat32 usb stick and then try to update

Hi Rick, I also have a S3 unit of A-Sure (Intel sofia, 1GB, 16GB, WiFi Version). It looks like that A-sure offers currently no updates. I wrote 12 emails with no satisfactory answer to my questions. The system of A-Sure is very bad translated in German and contains many software problems. I would also like to update my system, as you have done it. Unfortunately the download link is offline. Can you put it online again? I have the S3 unit with the physical buttons. This information is based in the MCU, isn´t it? The android System is the same one? Can I set the Android system in German?
Thank you very much.
Rom Offline?

Pls upload the Firmware. Original link Down
WTF, no answer
Because no one answer here, I tried to update the ROM on myself. I have downloaded the ROM of Joying 20170328 and unpacked. I Have deleted the directory MCU, and the files 0308 STM8UD.BIN and STM8_PROJECT cov.s19 (I read that must be the original of A-Sure). I copy the files on a SD card and put it into the GPS slot. Unit is switched on and the update has started. After 10 minutes, on the screen was: Please remove SD card. I have done it. Nothing happens. Reset. Unit rebooted and has Android further installed. Then black screen. Reset again. Android starts, everything seems to work . In the info bar is in bold red font: MCU and UI do not fit together. Looks stupid ... But ok.
The physical keys work, only the DVD drive does not work. Apparently no driver in the Android system available. TOMTOM can not be installed (here you have to root the device and change the serial number). The translation of Chinese in German is clearly better than in A-Sure, in the radio app the RDS text is also no longer overlapping. More I have not tested yet, I'm glad that I have not shot the device.
I Think, i´m waiting for the offical update of A-Sure (if there will be one, I don´t think so...)
Yes, these were my first experiences.
Whether I would recommend it, I do not know.
Many advantages I have not recognized so far ...
Good news from A-Sure. They have a new firmware, directly to Android 6. No problems with updating, even TOMTOM works without routing and changing the ID...
Good news, thank you.
I have a problem with german text to speech in google navigation.
I tryed also the update to joying, but wifi didn't work.
Is there a download link for the update available?

Upgrade
I have used this upgrade, works perfectly but erases the IGO satnav.
I'd love to know how to put TomTom on this unit instead.
Alan.
My unit is an A Sure AS-S3A3 Picture in my Album, see profile.
I have updated my Asure Opel headunit Type S3OVG.
Before the update the text to speech from google navigation didn't work. There was also an update shown, but updatescreen crashes when opened.
Now, after the update, all seems to work.
I have updated my A-Sure Android 7 Zoll Unit.
All working.

Need help with PIONEER head unit

Hey all,
I'm on a long search for someone who could help me , yet I don't have any places left to look so I'm giving it a go here.
It's about a PIONEER AVIC F980 DAB(European) radio, I'd like to modify the firmware and/or create custom ROMS for it. I've searched all of AVIC411.com and used up all of my GoogleFu energie without any result ...
The forum at AVIC411 is pretty dead and my questions there remain unanswerd.
My question now is ; could anyone help me out in some way ?
Even if it's just pointing me in the right direction ( maybe there's an alternate name in the US for the same radio ; wich i've tried to find but no luck.) Or maybe someone could point me in the right direction in how to adjust the original firmware thats found on pioneer's website.
so here are the specs once more :
Radio : PIONEER AVIC F980 DAB (EU [software version 1.08 (2018 version) ])
Car itself : Hyundai I30 1.4 - 2015
PS : Development mode has been enabled on the radio and I should be able to get an ADB shell trough USB or ETHERNET.
I know it's a long shot, but maybe someone has knowledge about anything mentioned here;
Thanks in advance !

AC8227L Roms - Chinese headunit stereo

Hi all,
I have seen a few Roms here and there for AC8227L but I have a few questions, hope someone can guide me.
Is there a guide to backup the device completely before upgrading so that you can go back to the original rom incase of any issues?
Are there any roms that allow bluetooth pin/code input? I'm unable to connect to elm327 obd2 bt scanner cause I'm unable to enter a password. The obd2 scanner works on my phone, not on the headunit.
Are there any roms that are smoother/quicker? The fake 8.1 is really really slow.
Also any detailed guides for installing the roms? I couldn't find one or maybe I'm just too anxious to use one that isn't specifically made for this device.
Any tips and tricks to get the best out of the headunit? I have used HU reloaded and android auto works decently as long as you keep the resolution low. Youtube is really slow.
Can I install different apps for handling Bluetooth connections and/or Bluetooth music?
Hope someone can help. I've attached screenshots of my device so that I can get relevant information.
I have no issues flashing roms on my phones but I feel really anxious/uncomfortable flashing a rom on this, probably cause of a lack of information on what works and what doesn't.
Android version: 8.1.0
Memory: 1G
Storage: 16G
System platform: AC8227L
Can info: CVD1810_WJ
Build number: ZXDZ_2019.12.30.16
